Abstract: A self-steering system for boats, in particular for sailing
boats, has
     a servo-pendulum rudder (10), which can be rotated by
a positioning device (30) such as a windvane (31) or a
compass-controlled servomotor in the event of deviations
from the desired course and which as a result of
the rotation can be pivoted out transversely to the
keel line of the boat by water flowing past,   an auxiliary rudder (20), which can be forcibly rotated
about an approximately vertical axis of rotation (24)
as a result of a pivoting motion of the servo-pendulum
rudder (10), can be flowed against by water flowing
past and is used to generate course corrections when
the boat deviates from the desired course, and   a clutch device for engaging and disengaging the drive
connection (40) between the servopendulum rudder (10)
and the auxiliary rudder (20) with at least one drive
member and at least one driven member, and with a force
transmission member that can be moved between a working
position, that is to say the engaged state, and a resting
position, that is to say the disengaged state, in
so doing bringing together or drawing apart the drive
member and driven member of the angular drive connection.   
     It is desired to improve the handling and operational reliability
of the clutch device. Therefore,
     the drive connection (40) between the servo-pendulum
rudder (10) and the auxiliary rudder (20) comprises a 
toothed bevel gear (42, 45) or a similar joint-free
angular drive connection, and   the drive member (41) or, preferably, the driven member
(43), of the clutch device is or becomes secured in
place both in the working position and in the resting
position.

Abstract: A (fluoroaryl)borane compound expressed by General
Formula (1) below is handled in the form of slurry made
with a hydrocarbon solvent:
 
where each of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , and R 5  independently
represents a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a
hydrocarbon group, or an alkoxy group provided that at
least one of R 1 -R 5  represents a fluorine atom, X
represents a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a bromine
atom, or an iodine atom, and n represents 2 or 3. Then,
a hydrocarbon solution of the (fluoroaryl) borane
compound having a concentration of the (fluoroaryl)borane
compound in a range between 1wt% and 10wt% is prepared by
dissolving the slurry into a hydrocarbon solvent in a
virtually air-tight vessel. Consequently, it has become
possible to provide a method of handling the
(fluoroaryl)borane compound in an industrially and
economically advantageous manner, and a method of 
preparing the hydrocarbon solution of the
(fluoroaryl)borane compound readily and quickly without
lowering the purity.

Abstract: Packages for an integrated circuit device and methods and leadframes for making such
packages are disclosed. The package includes a die, a die pad, leads, bond wires, and an
encapsulant. The lower surfaces of the die pad and leads are provided with a stepped profile
by an etching step that etches partially through the thickness of a peripheral portion of the die
pad, and also etches partially through the thickness of portions of the leads. Encapsulant
material fills in beneath the recessed, substantially horizontal surfaces of the die pad and leads
formed by the above-described etching step, and thereby prevents the die pad and leads from
being pulled vertically from the package body. Other portions of the die pad and leads are
exposed at the lower surface of the package for connecting the package externally. 
     A metal leadframe for making an encapsulated package includes an outer frame. A die
pad is within and connected to the frame. Leads extend from the frame toward the die pad
without contacting the die pad. After an encapsulation step, the die pad and leads are severed
from the leadframe, and a completed package is cut from the leadframe. A portion of the
severed leads may extend laterally beyond the package sides, and may be bent upwards at an
oblique angle to facilitate connection of a solder interconnection to the package. 
     The packages may be made one at a time, or a plurality of packages may be made
simultaneously. Packages may be cut from the leadframe with a punch or saw.

Abstract: Il est avantageux de répartir des tâches de services de réseau de manière logique sur des programmes de service distincts ainsi que, physiquement, sur plusieurs points de contrôle. En matière de ventilation des tâches, l'utilisation d'un seul point de contrôle pose un problème dans la mesure où l'appel ne peut être commandé que par un seul programme de service à la fois. La présente invention concerne une technique de ventilation des services sur plusieurs programmes de service. Une relation de commande établie entre le point de commutation et le programme de service permet d'attribuer des instructions à ce programme. La technique selon l'invention se caractérise en ce que la ?gérabilité? d'une relation est subdivisée en classes de gérabilité, dont une au moins est affectée au programme de service qui commande le point de commutation. Ainsi chacune des classes de gérabilité est affectée à un seul programme de services à la fois, l'appel étant commandé par le programme de services dans les limites de l'autorisation de commande de chacune des classes de gérabilité.

Inventor: LUNDAHL SCOTT
IPC: A61N/
Filed: 1999-04-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé pour la thérapie ou le diagnostic photodynamique, dans lesquels on utilise un illuminateur comprenant plusieurs sources lumineuses épousant généralement la forme d'une surface de forme complexe et exposant ladite surface à une lumière visible d'intensité sensiblement homogène. Les sources lumineuses peuvent comporter des tubes fluorescents généralement en forme d'U, qui sont excités par des ballasts électroniques. Le réglage de la tension des ballasts permet de commander la puissance de sortie des tubes. Lesdits tubes sont supportés par un boîtier en tôle ou en plastique et sont recouverts d'un écran au polycarbonate qui dirige le courant d'air de refroidissement dans l'unité et empêche le contact entre le verre et le patient, en cas de rupture du tube. Un réflecteur en aluminium situé derrière les tubes permet d'augmenter l'irradiance de sortie et l'homogénéité de la répartition de sortie. L'espacement des tubes en forme d'U est modifié, de manière que la sortie au niveau des bords de l'illuminateur soit augmentée pour que la sortie soit plus homogène. Par ailleurs, différentes parties des tubes sont refroidies dans différentes proportions, de manière que l'homogénéité soit améliorée. Un capteur de lumière contrôle la sortie des tubes en U pour produire un signal de réglage de la sortie des tubes.

Abstract: A grinding wheel (28) that rotates around an axis and that has a working area consisting of a ring area with a circular arc profile is used to create a surface by initial grinding with the ring surface oriented at a first point in space on the cutting knife (22) by means of at least one first translational relative movement.Subsequently one part of the surface produced with the ring surface oriented at a second point in space is grinded by means of at least one second translational relative movement. The grinding wheel (28) is a diamond cupped grinding wheel and has the same abrasive covering for the entire working area (34). Roughing down and smooth-polishing occur using areas of the grinding wheel (28) that have the same specifications but different grinding parameters. Preferably, spatial orientation between the grinding wheel (28) and the cutting knife (22) is selected by adjusting the cutting knife (22) in relation to the grinding wheel (28). The inventive method enables planar and/or convex and concave surfaces to be created on a cutting knife.
